History

The league was founded in 2007 [2] and was accepted into the Women's Flat Track Derby Association Apprentice Program in October 2009, [3] becoming a full member of the WFTDA in December 2010. [4]

In February 2011, some former league skaters formed the Resurrection Roller Girls. [5] Following this, Sonoma County left its California skate venue, which it had regularly been selling out, and redeveloped a former furniture store in downtown Santa Rosa as a new roller rink. [6] This project ran into difficulties after city regulations required the installation of an expensive sprinkler system, and league practices there ceased in 2014. [7]

Sonoma County Roller Derby now[ when? ] hosts home bouts in the Grace Pavilion of the Sonoma County Fairgrounds. [8]
